There are numerous days throughout the year dedicated to feathers that take flight. Official Bird Day is May 4; National Bird Day is celebrated on Jan. 5 each year; and there’s also reason to look to the skies later this month, as the second Saturday each May is International Migratory Bird Day lots to flock about.
According to the U.S. Library of Congress, Bird Day was first observed on May 4, 1894. The holiday and tribute was started by Charles Almanzo Babcock, the superintendent of schools in Oil City, Pennsylvania. The idea and observance quickly gained popularity and by 1910 it was also celebrated with Arbor Day (the annual day dedicated to trees).
